The number of connectors you can have at any time depends on your plan. This article explains how connector limits work, what counts toward your limit, and what happens when you reach it.
Connector limits by plan
Plan | Connector limit |
Free | 10 |
Premium 50 | 50 |
Premium 150 | 150 |
Premium 500 | 500 |

Enterprise | Custom |
During your 14-day free trial, you can add up to 1,000 connectors with access to all features. For a full plan comparison, see our [Plans & Pricing article].
What counts toward your limit
Your connector count is the total of three things:
Active connectors — team members with a login account in The Swarm. Every user on your team, including owners and admins, counts as one connector.
Passive connectors — external contacts added to your network manually, for example via a LinkedIn URL. These do not have login access but still count toward your limit.
Pending invitations — anyone you've invited to join your team counts as a connector from the moment the invitation is sent, until it is accepted or revoked.
Total connectors = active connectors + passive connectors + pending invitations
If you want to free up a slot without removing a contact entirely, revoking a pending invitation immediately reduces your count.
What happens when you reach your limit
When your connector count reaches your plan's limit, adding new connectors is blocked. You'll see a prompt on the Connectors page explaining that you've reached your limit.
At that point you have two options:
Upgrade your plan to a higher tier with a larger connector limit
Remove existing connectors from the Connectors page to make room
There is no option to queue connectors for later. The block stays in place until your count drops below your plan limit or you upgrade. Everything else in The Swarm continues to work normally — the limit only affects your ability to add new connectors.
How to check your current connector count
You can see your current usage at any time in the header of the Connectors page, displayed as X / Y connectors used. A warning will appear when you reach 80% of your limit so you have time to plan ahead.
